Simplicity is not grinding poverty: It is not the polar opposite of wealth. To live simply is to pursue a quiet path of moderation. In a life of balance between opposite extremes lies inner happiness.
People everywhere, in their quest for happiness outside themselves, discover in the end that they’ve been seeking it in an empty cornucopia, and sucking feverishly at the rim of a crystal glass into which was never poured the wine of joy.

Thanks, Gopa; very nice.
I recall a late evening in Chennai in the early 1990s when i got back home in pouring rain, in great joy. A small purple butterfly flitted by as i parked my bike in the basement. Felt that was the Old Mother's way of saying: I am with you.
